INDUSTRIES
Five industries.
One practitioner discipline.
Mid-market and PE-backed leaders in five industries make up the majority of our practice. Regulated, complex, and high-scrutiny is where we have spent over twenty-five years. It is where our practitioners are most useful.
Private Equity
Healthcare
Finance
Manufacturing
Technology
Private Equity
The industry we are best known for. One hundred fifty plus PE transactions, over twenty-five years of portfolio work, and a body of practice built specifically around the deal lifecycle.
Healthcare
The pressure: Regulated, complex, and life-safety adjacent. HIPAA. HITECH. HITRUST. Audit calendars that do not slip. Insurance renewals that ask harder questions every cycle. Patient trust that erodes faster than any other business risk.
What matters most in our healthcare work: Compliance-first posture that does not slow clinical operations - Identity and access controls that hold up under audit and support clinical workflows - Security programs that are practitioner-led and continuously audit-ready - Hybrid infrastructure that respects both cloud economics and patient data sensitivity
Best-fit engagements to start: The Security Leadership Program is the most common entry point for healthcare clients. Identity Foundations is often the next step.
Finance
The pressure: Examiner-facing, board-facing, and increasingly customer-facing. SEC, FINRA, SOX, PCI, and state banking regulators do not tolerate improvisation. Cybersecurity insurance has stopped being a formality.
What matters most in our finance work: Examiner-ready security posture with the evidence to prove it, not just claim it - Practitioner-led security leadership that speaks to boards and regulators fluently - Cloud rebalance for firms where cost, compliance, and performance collide - Technology diligence for the accelerating M&A activity across financial services
Best-fit engagements to start: The Security Leadership Program is the most common entry point for finance clients. Technology Due Diligence is the second.
Manufacturing
The pressure: Hybrid environments across factory floor, warehouse, corporate, and supply chain. Operational technology and information technology converging faster than most organizations can secure. Cost pressure that never lets up. PE-backed roll-ups accelerating the pace of acquisition and integration.
What matters most in our manufacturing work: Hybrid cloud rebalance that respects factory-floor realities and corporate scale - OT and IT security integration without disrupting operations - Post-acquisition integration playbooks built for PE-backed roll-ups - Managed services capable of operating across the whole hybrid footprint
Best-fit engagements to start: Cloud Confidence is the most common entry point for manufacturing clients. Technology Due Diligence is the second.
Technology
The pressure: High-growth technology firms navigating the transition from startup posture to enterprise posture. Product stacks getting more complex faster than the internal team can secure them. Enterprise buyers asking for SOC 2, ISO, and frameworks the company has to earn without slowing product velocity.
What matters most in our technology work: Identity Foundations that support AI adoption, enterprise-buyer requirements, and modernization simultaneously - Cloud economics that scale with growth rather than punishing it - Security programs that mature at the pace of the business, not on a fixed calendar – Expertise that has seen this specific transition before
Best-fit engagements to start: Identity Foundations is the most common entry point for high-growth technology clients. Cloud Confidence is the second.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you work with industries not on this list?
Yes, though we are best in regulated, complex, and high-scrutiny environments.
-
What if we are in multiple industries, or in a hybrid that does not fit cleanly?
Common. Many of our clients are in an industry that sits between two of the five (fintech, medtech, PE-backed manufacturing).
-
Do you have industry-specific practitioners?
Yes. Our senior practitioners each have three to five years of depth in one or two of the five industries above.
-
How does the work actually differ across industries?
The core practitioner discipline is consistent. What differs is the specific regulatory landscape, the specific buyer language, and the specific pressure points each industry actually feels.
